It depends on the situation which we are considering.Just consider the example of Exams. Let suppose 25 candidates are appearingin an intelligence test and the average score of those 25 candidates comesout to be 55. Now in such situation the candidates who have scored betterthan the average score are definitely superior than the one who got belowaverage score.Another example is that I will give you of cricket matches. Let we supposethe average bowling average at any particular ground is 25. Now is someonehas taken wickets at that particular venue at say 20 runs per wicket. Thenwe can not say that the bowler who has picked up wickets at an average of 20at that venue is superior because it depends on so many situations. May bethe wickets he picked were against weaker sides. May be the weather at whichhe played was cloudy (which is helpful for bowlers). So in such situationswe cannot say someone superior.The summary of the above discussion is that we can say someone superior ifthe situation we are considering is EQUAL for every one. i.e. in case ofexam, every one had the same paper.When situation is NOT EQUAL for every one, then we cannot say someonesuperior, just as the example of cricket I gave above, which is certainlynot equal for every one.
